Our boat has gone abroad & but the Billfish Babes tradition lives on through Fascination II. I can't you how much we miss this boat already but onwards & upwards as will look forward to finding another game boat. We had a ton of fun with Fas & so we are so pleased to see her still raising fish, especially for women! This vessel actually inspired myself (Marlene) to start Billfish Babes because of the past history of female angling Fas has had.

On behalf of Captain Russell & myself (Marlene) We would like to extend a very warm thank you to all our guests whom chartered with us this year & we look forward to welcoming everyone & new guests back onboard with our new vessel next year. Have a very merry fishmas & a happy prosperous new year! #MerryChristmasEveryone #HappyNewYear #ExcitingTimesAhead #BringOn2019 #GreatBarrierReef #Whitsundays #TopnotchGameFishing #LuxuryChaters @billfishbabe_marlene @billfish_babes ...

Your Cairns giant black marlin charter may start like this...

Waking up behind the calmness of the reef & being greeted by one the 7th natural wonders of the World.....The Great Barrier Reef. You may decide to go for a relaxing snorkel through the underwater garden or pick up a fishing rod and catch more tasty table fish such as a coral trout.​

Back onboard after a snorkel you will be treated to a hearty breakfast to get you ready to go tangle with some of the brutes of the reef like legendary giant trevally. Later in the day light tackle rods come out to catch fresh bait for of the day and then it’s time to go catch that fish of a lifetime......the giant black marlin (Istiompax Indica)

After the days expedition is complete, its time to go back in behind the reef for a sheltered anchorage and relax with a few cold beverages to watch GoPro videos of the day’s events. The fishing doesn't stop either and continues while on anchor for some more delicious table fish that the reef system has to offer.
